User talk:Sur de Filadelfia
Bienvenidos
May 2008
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epicaricacy. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You may want to reconsider whether this edit summary really qualifies as "snide". As an uninvolved editor, I don't see it. Take a deep breath and step back a bit.

- As a courtesy notice, you may want to respond to my request at Wikiquette alerts for an admin to intervene here. betsythedevine (talk) 16:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Looking through that article, I'm not seeing the copyright violation. Where is the copyright violation in the article? JoshuaZ (talk) 01:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing at Schadenfreude. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --Stlemur (talk) 11:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Sockpuppetry case
[edit]You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/South Philly (2nd) for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Deor (talk) 02:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Personal statement by South Philly/Sur de Philadelphia, moved here from Epicaricacy AfD
[edit]
P.S. In the time I took to write this, Evrik retired. |
Response to banned sockpuppeteer happily editing from yet another IP
[edit]Thank you, South Philly for sharing the canvassing email sent out by Evrik to his friends and supporters. You characterize it is neutral. I disagree. It also misrepresents the reasoning behind the AfD of epicaricacy as 1) lack of encyclopedic content in the article and 2) pigheaded allegiance to the idea that there is no English word for Schadenfreude.
New claims that we "attacked" everyone from Philadelphia have been added to your many personal attacks on people who oppose you. We are attackers and bullies, you are the innocents! I am reminded of a remark by CS Lewis about the sensitive person who "bleeds at a touch but scratches like a wildcat." I hope some of your fellow-Philadelphians will respond to your threats against Ike9898 and Immortalgoddezz. I hope they will be much more welcome in Wikipedia meetups than banned sockpuppeteers and GBCW retirees. betsythedevine (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- If an experienced Wikipedian like Evrik had explained that there is a way to get input from other editors by giving notice of a controversial merger -- or if Evrik had suggested such a move on Epicaricacy talk instead of just undoing a redirect that had consensus of all discussion participants except himself -- I would never have filed an AfD. It is only the second one I have filed in my 4 years editing Wikipedia articles, including very occasionally trying to correct mistakes on my husband's bio Frank Wilczek. I edit there rarely but openly under my wikiname. If you check out the page history, you can decide for yourself if I am adding vanity material. If you check out its talk page you can see that people who edit there know I'm his wife and sometimes ask for my input. And nobody "canvassed" me to go there and do it. I don't think my open but limited violation of a Wikipedia guideline about editing articles of people you know makes me a hypocrite when I complain about Evrik's off-wiki canvassing.
- I really am sorry that the outcome of all this has been for Evrik to "retire" but I hope it will be temporary. Nobody is claiming -- I certainly am not --that Evrik is wicked, but I do think he got carried away by his enthusiasm into doing a number of inappropriate things. I complained about the actions (so did others). My complaints weren't meant as a personal attack. Everybody, in Wikipedia or elsewhere, sometimes does stuff others think they shouldn't. I think that Evrik must be a very good person on the evidence that he has so many loyal friends, quite apart from the good work he has done in Wikipedia.
- On a less friendly note, if you had defended Evrik by citing Wikipedia policy instead of insulting and wikistalking me, you could have helped to calm the discussion down instead of heating it up. If my behavior was so terrible in this, you could have filed a Notice of Incident or a Request for Comment. My knowledge of these matters has, regrettably, grown due to all this fighting.
- I am going to try to change the AfD to a Merge and Redirect, and I will make sure the ultimate Wikipedia article has a section mentioning "epicaricacy." betsythedevine (talk) 08:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
